Upending a vessel with 3 cranes
In stead of 1 big crane with a spreader
bar, 2 smaller cranes can be used.
Advantage:
• The big lead crane is replaced by 2
smaller cranes.
Disadvantage:
• More space required.

When the CoG of a Load which is not spaced at equal distances from the crane hooks, we can calculate
the load in each crane with the moment equation as shown below:
Looking from F1
G ´ L1
L1 ´ G = L2 ´ F2 Þ F2 =
L2 147,7 Ton 52,3 Ton
Looking from F2
G ´ ( L2 - L1 )
F1 ´ L2 = G ´ ( L2 - L1 ) Þ F1 =
L2
Or easier
F1 = G - F2

1. When we lift a load with two cranes and do not lift at equal speed, the load in each crane can vary
significantly. This strongly depends on the height of the CoG above or below the lift points.
2. Depending on where the CoG is located, the load difference will increase (when the CoG is higher
above lift points) or decrease (when the CoG lower is below the lift points)

Tail crane and distribution of load between tail crane and main lift crane (1)
Tail crane and distribution of load between tail crane and main lift crane (2)
1. Due to the offset of the tail lift point of the 3. When the offset is bigger, the tail
load, the tail load gradually decreases when the load decreases faster
load reaches its vertical position
2. We can make use of this when we calculate the B
decrease of the tail
load and define the optimal AA
location of the
tail crane
Tail crane and distribution of load between tail crane and main lift crane (4)
This change of tail load can be calculated by means of an Excel spread sheet at a certain offset
• The formula to calculate the force in the tail crane at C is done by calculating the load in C and A by using the moment equation.
• Moment equation:
• Load in C = a/(a+b) * 200 = 10000/22000 * 200 = 90.91 ton;
• Load in A= b/(a+b) * 200 = 12000/22000 * 200 =109.09 ton ( in horizontal position)
• or when the column is being erected and changes from horizontal into vertical position, the perpendicular distances to the CoG
changes into: b = b.cos+c.sin⍺ and a = a.cos⍺
• or in formula: Load in C = 200 * (a.cos⍺ )/ (b.cos⍺ + c.sin⍺ + a.cos⍺) = 200 * (a.cos⍺)/(c.sin⍺+ (b+a) * cos⍺)
As in the excel sheet the Formula is: the load in C = C$5 * (cos($B8)/(C$4 * sin($B8)+(C$3+C$2) * Cos($B8))
YES, no exceptions.
Why we make a lift plan:
– Feasibility study
– Work plan
– Capture information
– Basis of TRA / RA /
Permits
– Communication to
parties involved
Type of lifts
We distinguish 2 types of lifts. This to be decided by the competent
person.
– Routine lift and
– non-routine lift (or engineered lift)
The routine lift.
Generally, these are lifts that are carried out on a regular basis that
require no detailed engineering planning and which have been
previously subject to a generic risk assessment and can be done with a
generic lift-plan
– Repetitive nature (at least once every 4 weeks)
– Users of the equipment are trained in its use and aware of its
limitations
– Significant elements involved are assessed as unlikely to change
– The identified Competent Personnel can execute it in its entirety
– The personnel involved are familiar with the Risk Assessment and
the Lifting Plan
– Lifting Plan is verified as the current issue and has been reviewed
Non-routine lift are all other lifts. A modified lift plan can sometimes
be used but often a new lift-plan is to be made for an engineered lift.

drawing takes

and that there are no obstacles which interfere during
slewing and setting down of the load.
6. Condition of the load. Make sure all lashings of the load are released from the transport mode and
that the lift points are in a good condition, located in the right position and not damaged.
7. PPE = Personnel Protection Equipment. During work always use the right PPE, such as but not
limited to: safety helmet, safety goggles, safety boots, gloves etc.
8. Release the brakes. When lifting a load from a trailer, release the brakes of the trailer in case this can
be done safely.
9. Mooring lines. When lifting a load from a floating body (i.e. barge of vessel) make sure there is
sufficient slack in the mooring lines to allow the vessel to adjust itself under the load.
10. Verticality of the lifting tackle. When lifting: Gradually tighten the lift tackle and make sure that
the jib head is always precisely above the CoG of the load. Check this from different angles and
adjust this when the jib is bending.

1. By selecting the position of lifting bollards close to the CoG, one can limit the tail load to approx. 76 ton
2. We could even tail this column in with a 400 Tons Telescopic crane
3. For practical reasons we selected a crawler crane at the end
1. With an inclinometer one accurately measures the angle between both lifting bollards with the horizon.
2. The inclinometer is fixed with some clamps to the skirt ring
3. Before start lifting, the inclinometer must be calibrated. Ensure that both lift bollards are set at an
horizontal level (we check this with a level instrument by slightly lifting with either crane) and set the
inclinometer to zero
4. As back-up a standard bubble spirit level is used, which is also suspended in a swiveling mode.

3. When the column has almost reached 80o , lift the column
high enough so that the tail crane can lower the column and
will swing in between both jib heads without lifting anymore

NOTE: With a load (G) in a crane we must include everything i.e. lift block, lifting slings,
shackles, lifting beams, spreaders and auxiliary frames etc.
1. Most cranes can be equipped with a variety of lift blocks
2. This does not apply to ship’s canes, where the weight of the lift block is included in the net
lifting capacity of the crane. Shackles, slings, lifting beams etc. must be added to the load,

= 42.26 m T
A more simpler method is the so
called graphical method
August 7, 2021 www.seacamel.com 65
Define the sling length and force with the graphical method
Example:
1. Position the hook on the vertical
line through the CoG and draw
the slings from the lift points to
one point in the hook
2. Draw the force diagram on scale
starting at the top of the lift slings
3. Use e.g. a scale of 1:100, so that
1 cm = 1 Ton
4. First draw 20 cm straight down,
this represents the weight of 20
Ton
5. Then from the point of that force
one completes a parallelogram
and can draw the other forces
6. By measuring these forces, and
use the scale factor, one can 20 Ton
define the magnitude of each
force.
